Giving Gladly | May 31, 2011

I’ve been reading a great deal about the concept of giving lately. I’ve always believed myself to be a ‘good little giver’, but until recently, I never really considered my attitude while giving. I’ll confess, it’s not always as positive as it should be. As a society, we’re expected to give our money, our time, and our attention to various people and entities. We’re taught that we’ll reap blessings when we give, but here’s the kicker: we won’t reap anything positive if we’re not giving joyfully and without expectation.

When we give of ourselves, we shouldn’t … Read More »

Breathtaking Bike Tours in Austria | May 30, 2011

Bicycle tours are a great way for families to explore a country and to really get a feel for its geography and terrain, scents and smells, history and culture, and its people—experiences that aren’t often possible from a train or rental car.

Most tours are designed for leisure cyclists, many of them especially for families and novices.

According to leading bike tour website www.biketoursdirect.com, which features more than 200 tours in 40 countries, one of the most popular tours for families is Austria’s Danube Bike Path. Nearly the entire route is on dedicated bike paths – so you’re away from traffic nearly the entire time, and you … Read More »

And the Rains Came | May 30, 2011

It had been an absolutely gorgeous day!  The sun was shining, it was warm and I wanted to get in a quick trip to Utica Square in Tulsa before the day ended.  Not two minutes after I arrived, parked and headed toward LOFT, the skies turned dark.  The clouds opened up and as my iphone sent me a text alert of a pending storm, the rains came.  It wasn’t just a light sprinkle either.  It was what we call a “gully-washer.”  The winds blew and I grabbed a seat under the Queenies awning contemplating my shopping trip idea.

I slipped my … Read More »

L’AMOUR FOU: YSL and PIERRE BERGE | May 27, 2011

The public life of Yves Saint Laurent—the legendary designer who took over the House of Dior at 21 before launching his namesake label—was as grandiose as his overflowing art collection. A highly coveted couturier, he helped pioneer the unisex aesthetic (his le smoking inspired women to make menswear their own) and helped to establish Catherine Deneuve as a style icon for a generation. But Saint Laurent’s private life, which he shared with his lover and business partner Pierre Bergé for over 50 years, was tumultuous—defined by drugs, alcohol, mental illness, and a magnified level of success that ultimately drove him into seclusion.

Director Pierre Thoretton’s … Read More »

Men’s Fashion: JAY BELL STYLES 6 SPRING LOOKS | May 27, 2011

We’d guess that the most guys don’t care much about what’s “in” or what’s “out.” They’re more concerned with what’s classic, comfortable and cool—and rightly so. That said, even the most well-worn wardrobe can benefit from seasonal updates and modern takes on trusty classics.

With the weather warming up, we asked Barneys menswear maven, Jay Bell, to come up with six versatile looks that blend multi-season staples in new (but highly wearable) ways. Dan Trepanier of The Style Blogger swung by to road-test the looks.

Whimsical is the one word Mondo Guerra, finale contestant on Lifetime’s Project Runway would describe his style.  His life seems to fall under the same definition.

Growing up he didn’t always dream of becoming a designer.  He played the piano for many years, some days playing for over 5 hours.  He dreamed of scoring music for films.  He appears to always have had creative vibes running through him.  Around 19 years old he started his path in fashion.

After a stint in New York, he was brought back to his hometownof Denver, Colorado due to a broken hip. After recovery, he found a … Read More »
